Why do so many people think they MUST be heard? 😆 That’s one of the reasons I deleted Reddit. Too many weirdos thinking that I owed them a debate or something whenever I commented something they disagreed with. It happened on Twitter too but I got rid of that when musk announced that he was going through with the purchase.

Bummer that isn’t mastodon but any inconvenience to musk is appreciated

Wasn’t machines using humans as batteries a plot point in the matrix? Why are people trying so hard to make these sci-fi nightmares a thing? 😆

Cool story bro

You call it kidnapping but they’ve just done a good job at making partners and compatible software for 30+ years. That didn’t happen over night and that success wasn’t handed to them. Again, I’m not a fan of theirs and I boot into Linux whenever my day allows for it but it sounds like you’re putting your personal taste before logic.

Imma disagree since they’re part of that top 3 shuffle for most valuable companies on the planet BUT I still don’t like them lol I did try the windows phone though when those were a thing. It was solid but lacked app support so I caved before the 30 day period and returned it.

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll look into it 🤔

I’m super torn between not wanting more Amazon in my life and wanting a convenient way to binge a lot of comics and manga

It still makes me feel some type of way that Sony (a Japanese company) gets so much sway over US business and policies. It’s something I thought about a lot when Microsoft was trying to close its deal with Activision. I don’t care much either way about multi-billion dollar conglomerates (or trillions in Microsoft’s case) butting heads but it did strike me as odd that a foreign company had that much of a hold on the deal. I get that piracy of media is frowned upon but like the ISP’s are arguing here, the affects of cutting off access to their clientele would have a lot of negative impact. I once again sit here wondering why a foreign company should have that kind of power over American citizens… you know?

They offer text messaging as well yeah, but simpler devices are nice. I use my smartphone most when I’m at work, bored in the break from (like right now) but outside of that I just usually have better things to do. I often leave my phone at home in favor of my smart watch which does a lot less but still has my music on it and a way for the wife to contact me which are the 2 main things I value. I’m just saying that even it’s not for the majority, 2 way pagers would likely have a place in the market. There’s a whole group of people these days that love shopping for dumb phones to cut distractions out of their days.
